Loopallu 2008
Ullapool's little fest in the west

Every year, at around the time of the Autumn Equinox in September, our little village doubles in population as we entertain 2,000 visitors to Loopallu. Ullapool-based promoter Robert Hicks organises the smallest, friendliest rock festival on the calendar, with an intoxicating mix of the best Highland bands with a few bigger name headliners thrown in. Franz Ferdinand, The Stranglers and Hayseed Dixie have all performed here, and this year it was the turn of The Levellers and Echo & the Bunnymen to mix it with The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, the Vatersay Boys and others.

There's a flavour of the 2008 festival in the three photo albums below (opens in a new window).
